Chapter 70: The Powerful Seven Star Sword

If that's the case, this is a demon sword that can continuously grow stronger, at the cost of endless blood and slaughter.

For Li Yuan, this was no problem at all. Blood and slaughter were his companions from the moment he arrived in this world.

"Let me see your power!"

Li Yuan approached the two large barrels he had brought earlier, filled with the blood of Sea Kings, something he had prepared before coming here.

Inserting the Seven Star Sword into the barrel, Li Yuan could sense the sword's excitement.

The runes on the Seven Star Sword emitted a green glow, absorbing the essence of the blood from the barrels into the sword.

Through the Seven Star Sword, Li Yuan observed a tiny amount of blood essence gathering into the second star-like blood groove.

The blood from the two large barrels only provided a small amount of blood essence, insufficient to fill the second blood groove. It was unclear how many more barrels would be needed.

After absorbing the essence, the blood in the barrels turned murky and emitted a foul odor, akin to blood left to rot in the sun for days.

"Hahaha, it really works! The Seven Star Sword truly can absorb blood to grow stronger. No wonder it's called a demon sword!" Li Yuan was thrilled to confirm the sword's ability to grow stronger through blood absorption.

As for the quantity required, it was not a concern. After all, in this world, blood is the most renewable resource.

"Besides growing stronger, it also has the ability to restore stamina. This is simply a flawless sword!"

Aside from sensing the sword's slight increase in strength, Li Yuan also felt a surge of energy returning to him as the sword absorbed the blood.

This energy was quickly assimilated by his powerful body, converting into stamina.

For a strong fighter, stamina recovery is crucial. Many warriors can fight for days and nights, but as the battle continues, a lack of stamina leads to a decline in combat power.

To kill a strong opponent of similar level, one would either use overwhelming power or exhaust the enemy's stamina before striking, significantly increasing the chances of success.

The Seven Star Sword allowed Li Yuan to weaken his foes and absorb their blood to restore his stamina, making it a trump card for him!

As long as he could break through defenses, he could maintain peak stamina without worry of declining combat effectiveness due to fatigue.

Meanwhile, as his enemies' blood continuously drained and their stamina waned, their combat power would diminish, tipping the scales of victory in Li Yuan's favor.

"Ugh!!!"

The commotion from Li Yuan's actions woke Adina from her slumber.

"Ah!!!!"

Seeing the pool of blood on the ground, Li Yuan's strong, unguarded body, and her own unclothed state, Adina screamed, covering her eyes.

"Turn around!"

Adina hurriedly picked up her clothes to cover herself, though the sight of her half-clad form was even more eye-catching.

"Wear or don't wear, it's your choice."

Li Yuan didn't turn around, dressing himself in front of Adina while watching her intently.

"You rogue!"

Seeing Li Yuan's shameless demeanor, Adina blushed and turned away to dress herself.

"Did you really tame the Seven Star Sword?"

After dressing, Adina looked at the Seven Star Sword in Li Yuan's hand, noticing his clear eyes showed no sign of being bewitched by the sword, an unbelievable sight.

It was the Seven Star Sword, the one that had brought endless bloodshed, hatred, war, and slaughter to this sea. How could anyone tame it?

Li Yuan didn't answer her. Instead, he raised the Seven Star Sword and slashed at the sky.

"Blood Slaughter: Demon Fire Slash!!!"

Suddenly, the sword's intent erupted, empowering the Seven Star Sword. A 500-meter-long slash, imbued with green demonic fire, shot forth!

The sky over Asuka Island, darkened by the sword's awakening, was split open by the massive slash, tearing the clouds apart!

Sunlight shone through the gaping rift, illuminating Asuka Island and Adina's face.

She realized it was real. This man who had taken her chastity had truly tamed the Seven Star Sword.

"Though the Seven Star Sword is called a cursed demon sword, it is still a sword. And as a sword, it can be tamed. Now, I am its master."

"You, as the sorceress who guarded the sword for generations, are now my woman. You should come with me."

After reclaiming the Seven Star Sword, Li Yuan looked at Adina.

He hadn't anticipated that taming the sword, unfamiliar with its intent, would lead him to take Adina.

But since it had happened, he wouldn't leave her behind. His woman couldn't be left on her own; she would have to follow him.

"No, you're a great villain, I won't go with you!"

Adina knew the man before her was more terrifying than the Seven Star Sword. Raised with the teachings of a sorceress, she couldn't accept a man like Li Yuan, despite him taking her most precious thing.

"As my woman, if you refuse to come with me, I will personally send you to your death!"

"That direction seems to be where your village is. Rest assured, to ensure you're not alone on the road to the afterlife, I'll send them down with you in one strike!"

With that, the Seven Star Sword reappeared in Li Yuan's hand, its overwhelming intent ready to unleash a devastating blow.

"No, don't hurt them!!!"

Adina had witnessed his sky-splitting strike. If it hit the village, no one would survive!

"So, do you choose to die with them, or come with me and spare them?"

Li Yuan didn't retract the Seven Star Sword, instead turning to Adina, waiting for her answer.

Had Adina not been his woman, he wouldn't have had the patience to wait.

"I... I'll go with you!"

Adina's internal struggle and pain reminded her she couldn't let Li Yuan harm her village. In the end, she chose to leave with him.
